Semua Bab Vanquish Them All: Bab 221 - Bab 230

Knowing nothing about state affairs, the maid quickly supported Huang Chao with her hand. Seeing Huang Chao totally lose it, she quickly played cute and flirted, intending to comfort him with her body while the iron was hot. As an ordinary maid, there were not many opportunities to make the emperor become enamored to her? This might be her only chance in a lifetime. The maid did not want to miss this opportunity to wealth and prosperity. Tongguan was breached and Hua Zhou was occupied by the enemy in one day, Huang Chao was feeling frightened as though the end of the world was near. It was hard to empathize if you weren't in that position. Huang Chao's throne was like sitting on a spiked rug. After the initial sensation, as the situation worsened as not a single day went by without fear. It was difficult to live alone in Chang'an and barely hold on to Guanzhong, much less trying to expand his territory. After Zhu Wen betrayed him, Huang Chao barely had a good night's s

Li Keyong's expression was ghastly, seeing another monk in the same situation as Hui Neng, being stopped by others. It also meant that he couldn't make meritorious contributions in the short term. He was furious, so he rushed down to hillside and led his sect into the battlefield. Soon, all the masters of the Yanmen army appeared and hundreds of monks joined the fight. The two sides were so evenly-matched that it lasted until nightfall. After hearing about the battle of the Yanmen Army, Li Ye did not take action immediately. In the next ten days, both Shang Rang and Li Keyong's army continued to battle and each had their own share of victories. Thanks to the many cultivators and Juexiao Temple masters in the Yanmen army, they were not defeated at the hands of Shang Rang. On the contrary, Li Keyong's military talents gradually emerged. His capacity of dispatching and arranging troops was obviously more consummate t

The army of the Qi Empire had finally been defeated by the Pinglu Army. Except for the few who died in the battle, the rest of them either fled or surrendered. But the battle continued for most of the day. After all, it was a battle comprising of hundreds of thousands of troops. During the follow-up time of the battle, Li Keyong dispatched the elite cavalry of the Yanmen Army to ride fast to Chang'an, from 50 kilometers away. After the Pinglu Army poured into Chang'an from all directions, the Yanmen cavalry followed them into Chang'an, without stopping for a second. In any case, the Yanmen Army had to share the credit of conquering Chang'an. If the Yanmen Army had not held off the main force of Huang Chao's troops, the Pinglu Army would not have a chance to drive straight in to Chang'an. The battle did not end. Even though Huang Chao's troops near Chang'an were defeated, some of Huang Chao's generals still controlled large plac

Zhu Wen, Wang Jian, and Li Maozhen raised their cups, and drank together. Putting down his cup, Li Ye suddenly felt a bit strange. The world was full of coincidences. In the future, Zhu Wen would establish the Liang Empire in the Central Plains, Li Maozhen would become a feudal prince in Fengxiang, and Wang Jian would proclaim himself emperor in Sichuan. But now, they were all gathered together. With all their future achievements, the people here today, would be in charge of half of the country. If Li Keyong had turned up as well, then all the most famous heroes in the late Tang Empire, who rose in the process of the settlement of the Huang Chao Uprising, were all here. Of course, Li Keyong would not meet with Li Ye. He was now drinking alone, in the military camp. The camp was ablaze with lights. Li Keyong was not alone, as Monk Huiming was there, as well. However, Huiming did not drink wine, so Li Keyong felt even more depres

The Leader of the Shushan faction, Bai Jingxue, laughed derisively after listening to Xu Pingjing. "You people from Zhongnan Mountain chose Zhu Wen in the hopes of supporting his bid for hegemony. Now, however, Li Ye has taken sole credit for quelling the rebellion, and it's already a given that the emperor will reward him handsomely after returning to Chang'an. His power will be amplified." "I heard that the emperor has already appointed Zhu Wen as Xuanwu commissioner of Bianzhou. Bianzhou is situated at the heart of the Central Plains and connected to Ji River along with Pinglu. Li Ye will be able to launch an expedition to Bianzhou after returning to Pinglu if there's any unexpected movement from Zhu Wen. How will Zhu Wen be able to defend that? Also, this is the matter of Zhongnan Mountain's concern. What does it have to do with us?" Wu Jinling, the leader of Xuelu, and Wang Sanxian, the leader of Dongting Lake, smiled but remained silent after hearin
